Pumpkin MIA

So my dearest friend Valerie asked me if  I've seen any

canned pumpkin at the grocery store lately?

I didn't notice, I told her. So the following week I went to the

market to get some canned pumpkin for a few

recipes and sure enough,

"item out of stock".

HMMMM, that's strange.

So we went to NYC this past weekend and I thought while I

was there I'd see if I could get some canned

pumpkin.

Went to Trader Joe's and they said it's not in season just

yet.

So we went to Stop 'N Shop in Queens, NY

the same thing

"item not in stock".

The very next morning it was on the News:

PUMPKIN SHORTAGE!

Oh no, you know what that means, when they come into the

stores, people will be stocking up on them,

and I will be one of those people!

So disappointing, I LOVE pumpkin, I love it in so many ways

and I can't have any of it right now!

Had I known that, I would of planted some in our

garden!



An Amazing place!

This truly is the one place that relaxes me

and makes me slow down

and take a breather and reflect on my life.

Allows me to meditate and

appreciate all that I have and not take for granted

those around me.

We just returned from O.C. MD and had glorious

weather and enjoyed some

wonderful seafood, fresh and sweet and delicious.

It was a well needed vacation and

a great end to summer.



Great Reading!

Wow, is it September all ready?!

Beautiful weather so far

but looks like we're in for lots of rain

which I hope will give us

a pretty and colorful Fall around here.

So we spent the weekend at the

Beach,

One of my most FAVORITE places on the

earth,

and I read a book that will bring some tears

to your eyes.

It's not a happy book, or a funny book,

but one that is based on

actual events that took place in France,

one that I never heard of until I read this book,

It's a movie now, which I wanted to read before

seeing the movie,

but now, I will wait until I can rent it because

this is a movie I'd rather see

at home and not in theatre's, with a box of

tissue beside me.

It is a really good book, don't let the fact that

it is sad scare you,

it's a piece of history.

The character's are not real.

Hope you're having a nice long weekend!
